I was set on buying the Taiga and awaited it's 2nd batch release. Upon learning that the OC plate is ommited from the Taiga which imo made the Taiga stand out as an adjustable. I have decided I am going to pass on the Taiga. I think Homelike should at least have the OC baseplate as an option.
Imo I think Homelike lost alot of fans due to this decision. If anything, it is backwards. They should've released the SB plate only for the Taiga upon initial release. And upon the second release, to build upon the success of the 1st release and add the Oc baseplate to the offering. OR have the same offering for 2nd release and keep the price the same.
Now the Titanium is a nice addition, but the Big Question is would someone purchase it over a Wolfman?! $600 is steep, without getting that Wolfman quality. Also Imo its price point is too high. However I would of liked to purchase the stainless steel version Taiga and get both the sb & OC plate. The advantage of the Taiga having the Oc plate is what made this adjustable unique, even more so than the Rex Ambassador. Just sharing my point of view. Let me know if anyone feels alike.
